A Waterfront Townhouse With Beachy Accents

Designer Natalie Chong of Nest Design Studio takes you inside a young family's vacation home with California-cool style. Located an hour outside of Toronto, this formerly builder-basic townhouse got a bohemian makeover with mid-tone wood floors, tons of texture and seaside-inspired accents. You'll love the main living space's panelled fireplace, slipcovered and woven dining room chairs, and herringbone backsplash in the kitchen. Plus, the second floor has three sleep sanctuaries, complete with whimsical, fruit-printed bedding for the two girls and blackout drapes for a restful night's sleep.

I love designers that talk about their clients’ needs rather than their own signature looks.

[@shilpaverma4198]

I really like this designer

[@jeff_t_matsuda]

amazing space! made it beachy without cliched elements you normally see like seashells and lighthouses. and sourcing from more affordable venues helps make it attainable.

[@wwbdwwbd]

She's adorable... The home is very nice too.

[@nahomie]

The way the designer decorated the space is a beautiful mix of textures, neutral colors, and functionality. I really enjoyed this tour.

[@pearlhappyhour]

Her work is always beautiful 😍

[@julianafontenele]

Natalie is by far my favourite designer! Impeccable taste!

[@sprocket0077]

"they're like vampires... baby vampires" omg i love this girl

[@savagebeautystudio]

Such a gorgeous and airy space; love that it has a mix of high end pieces mixed with some affordable IKEA pieces as well. Natalie is my favorite designer on this channel, so happy to see another video of her designs. Keep them coming!

[@julia_kuzmenko]

Smart! It’s so much more affordable to ‘bring’ California into your interior than actually living here 😅

[@ivanzai7123]

I looooove Natalie. I wish H&H would feature more of her work.

[@minikorsi]

Natalie Chong-I am a massive fan!!! Her designs are always super usable and sophisticated at the same time.🙌🏻

[@chisikarin2012]

i love Natalie Chong!!! her interior design taste is great

[@amandalachance415]

Very soothing and chic! I love a monochromatic space with layers of texture...so timeless.

[@rneustel388]

Gorgeous, casual in a high-end way and clean! I would definitely live here with no changes!!

[@czarinajoypena7716]

Casual luxury. It's true. Love your design!

[@kayleighjuliana]

I always love when Natalie's work is posted.

[@kaleoc4537]

Natalie Chong does it again!! Her design eye, and conceptualizing are on point! I want her to design a s furnish my place!

[@jacquelinelun4049]

I am delighted to see Natalie Chong s work!!! I love her style very casual luxurious!!!

[@MusicaErika]

She is a great designer, I love her work. Beautiful home.

[@_rmichaeltannn]

Imagine coming home to this house everyday. Surely wouldn't mind being quarantined here. 😍

[@sally-annparker6744]

Inviting and beautiful. Completely captured that element of ‘casual luxury’. Many neutral spaces are cold and boring but this has a lovely warmth and is very comfortable looking.

[@carlvlaeminck2171]

Beautiful. Casual elegance. It really feels like a holiday home. Kudos to the designer.

[@DH-qz2so]

Lovely Home! I am sure once the family actually moves in,...it will look a lot different....

[@sharonlatour6230]

This is the families get away home. They have their main home in Toronto.

[@CC-si3cr]

LOVE NATALIE!!!! She's the best!! Love the fireplace! Love the top-of-the-stairs landing.

[@leowyatt1054]

Been following natalie since the first condo she did (the one under 10k i think) and the one she did with her own rental unit. Those designs combined with this project has a similar theme which i fancy very much. Of course, her work with ikea products somehow elevates the beauty of her designs. Just loved the combination.

[@kenwillemse7657]

Love the artwork in the dining area.

[@MsMykitchen]

Your style is very unique. I would live in that place with pleasant feeling. Love it!

[@deniseroussel3755]

great space...love this designer...so talented and her personality is wonderful

[@bachpregil5902]

[@leonardogarrido]

This lady never disappoints

[@france4me117]

Lovely ... I seem to like a more earthy look to my pallet with a twist of bold

[@AfricancoolChic]

Beautiful ❤️

[@scottbrown7071]

What fun!

[@elsa9532]

Very studio mcgee! Cute!

[@fordkd1]

I can totally see styling my moms living room that way with the large ottoman

[@songesonge8974]

MAGNIFIQUE

[@Liz-fv6jh]

I’m Currently building my first home and putting together a decor and I didn’t realize it til I saw this that my home so far has a total SoCal beach vibe. No beach near by though. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sanj8374]

Where is the "where to buy"

[@butchvictor6509]

Love it❤

[@trizah1207]

Wow✨

[@maheen8990]

I would love to know the paint used on trim, wall and kitchen cabinets. Looks great!!

[@farhanafazal4098]

Beautifull..😍

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

Ah to be young and vibrant. And to have a second "beach" home.

[@france4me117]

I do love

[@lisahandley2552]

wanted to see the bathrooms!

[@nicolefairbrother2155]

Love, love, love this space and N.C. seems like she'd be amazing to work with. "Baby vampires". Bahahaha.

[@NaranjitoEcuador]

I would add a few plants here and there

[@glenda7921]

Can anyone name that IKEA table? I couldn’t find it.

[@cjojay]

Nice

[@dominiquer3036]

Beautiful space!!! Where is that awesome couch from?

[@Scarlet-qg1xi]

Drop down link to find items please?

[@Jovardy05]

Hello love the design. Where are the woven captain chairs from in the dining room?

[@beli8362]

Where is the sofa from?

[@evelynfernandez1253]

What is the brand of the fridge please Beautiful, cozy space

[@girlintheairport]

Very chic and sophisticated....love the textures and materials ..but am just wondering with young kids so much white is risqué

[@jackiem.dearroyo8739]

Beautiful!!! Where did you get those camel leather chairs? Please?

[@ceciliazellweger5012]

Beutiful 😍😍😍😍😍

[@Supawoman11]

Where is this couch from?!

[@Lulu-ds8uz]

Hi Natalie! Would you mind telling me where can I buy these gorgeous living room curtains?

[@christipearson3342]

In the video, is says see description for Where to buy products. I’m not seeing that info, can someone help direct me?? Thanks!

[@oddtrash]

What sofa is that?

[@notevenalittle8363]

Does anyone know where the sofa is from? There is no "where to buy" section.

[@ceciliazellweger4415]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@christinerivera920]

I wish they would indicate the budget

[@amyyamaguchi8820]

What kind of couch is that?

[@vijayvincent3633]

Nice sister 👍

[@pinkbubblegum19]

😊❤

[@foggybottomz]

I love her taste and workstyle. I love "earthy", "beachy", "barefoot", "natural textures", "worldly" and "elegant" but I have wandered too far into darker browns. Glad there is nothing super trendy, just modern enough. Also looking for the "where to buy" section.

[@swayFortified]

which sofa is that?

[@mireille1594]

TV is quite high on the fireplace.

[@deyanirisph]

Love the design but I would like to see the balcony area 😏

[@zam6110]

The tv site is too high

[@psol1863]

Wowwwww come do my apartment

[@minigiant8998]

tv way too high

[@lyndakelly564]

Beautiful job except I cannot see wasting all that space in the bedroom for a "desk". Perhaps the set of drawers at each end could have been dresser size. I assume a walk in closet is where the underwear is located?

[@livinglifeindocs]

I'm a simple gal. I see Nathalie, I click.

[@SableSunsets]

Ok love it buuut, leaning picture frames on top of a table at the top of the stairs not a great idea with small children 👶🏼!! Anchor everything to a solid surface !!! Lol

[@iamwindchakra]

Its so sterile. The only rooms that look warm are the kid's rooms and they even managed to make those mostly blah. I think it looks very high end except where the cords from the plug in sconces just dangle. All that money and you can't get a cord cover?

[@mountain2816]

Don’t understand the design idea of having two toned curtain over glass door in the living / dining room - dose not look good

[@tinkujenatj5901]

Happiness family toomamjiandsirjitoo

[@kaashkaash8695]

I love it. But I'm so bored with everyone wanting things "neutral".

[@Sunflowers9191]

I guess it’s what most people love? I love neutral items too but I also love color and statement pieces

[@sacdigitaldesignweb]

None of the girls room looked like a girls room

[@sacdigitaldesignweb]

Mary Ray then it shouldn’t be called girls room. Should be kids-can-grow-into room 😂

[@airiellelewis1109]

I like it for a coupld without kids but all the lights and white me screams a nightmare waiting to happen with kids. Plus the kids rooms look like just guest rooms with no real kiddie or cute and girlie touches at all. :/

[@kritika675]

Why is everything white ??! Holiday and beachy need not always mean white.. ughh

[@terrybear5398]

House isn't bad, but her sing song voice has got to go.
